MNP 694C Soap Note

SOAP NOTE

 

A SOAP note for psychiatry is a little different than a SOAP note for a medical patient, but the basic format and premise is the same.  It is a communication between the treating clinician and the next treating clinician as well as other members of the care team. It is also something that the insurance company or payor source may want to look at to determine if the patient requires this level of care. A SOAP note is a part of the Chart, a legal document, and is to be treated as such. It is not the initial documentation on a patient, it is after the patient has been seen and an initial psychiatric evaluation has been done.

 

This is a pretty good example for you to use for preparing a SOAP NOTE. If your facility uses one you like better, that is fine. Following the information from a patient interview, a chart review; upload your note to Blackboard as directed.
